It's seems to me that my friend Amy or my friend Mel would give good advice about not blogging about not blogging. In the same way that they give advice about not talking about the camera when someone is video-taping you. It is an archiving no-no. But, well, I haven't blogged in a while, and feel compelled to acknowledge that.
Oh, glad change of topics. A man behind me just walked into the library and said, "Where's she at?" But it didn't sound the way it probably sounds in your mind. Use your best Southern and try it again. Do you hear it? When he said it, my Northern language processor heard, "Horse ****!" Of course that doesn't make sense, and I figured it out when the woman behind the desk said, "She's in the back."
Much, much more importantly, if you haven't heard already...
We're having a baby! The newest Norquist has an estimated delivery date of September 28th, 2008. We are, of course, quite excited. Aren't you??? We had an ultrasound at 7 weeks (now at 9 weeks, 2 days) and saw the little arm and leg nubs and heard the heart beat. It really sounded steady and strong. By now the baby has all of its parts, they are just really, really, minuscule. There is a lot of growing left to do, but it is pretty neat to think of all of the crafting God has already done!
I can't say much to follow that up. Oh, here's a beautiful book with beautiful images of fetal development (the text isn't my thing, but the illustrations/photos are like no others):

A thousand congratulations to you both! Your proud Papa told me at church a couple Sundays ago and I started jumping up and down... until I realized that I was jumping up and down. :-) SO happy for you guys; you'll be wonderful parents!
WONDERFUL news!!!
Congratulations, you two!
Ariel, I hope you are feeling well.
Hooray for meiosis and mitosis!
Oh, and the creative hand of a gracious and sovereign God.
